As with many other MRT stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line, the Mayflower MRT Station was also designed to be a Civil Defence structure, with air vents that can be shut off in the event of a chemical attack. There are also dedicated cubicles for chemical decontamination.
The Mayflower MRT Station got its name from the surrounding neighbourhood. Entrance to the station is at Ang Mo Kio Ave 4. The Mayflower Secondary School is 600 metres away on foot, while the Mayflower Market & Food Centre is 350 metres away. The Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West is 600 metres away while Our Park @ 618 is 900 metres away. Within the immediate vicinity of Mayflower MRT Station are HDB flats Blocks 116, 114, 113, 112, 172 and 171.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
